Profit and Loss Statement                                                       

1st quarter 2010                                                                

Sales                                                                           

In the 1st quarter of 2010 the Company's total sales decreased, year on year, by
0.7% to 12.2 mln EUR. Without the sales contribution from Maardu, a contract    
which commenced in the 3rd quarter of 2009, then total sales would have been    
down by 0.47 mln EUR and 3.8% compared to the 1st quarter of 2009. Sales in the 
main operating activity principally comprise of sales of water and treatment of 
wastewater to domestic and commercial customers within and outside of the       
service area, and fees received from the City of Tallinn for operating and      
maintaining the storm water system.                                             

Sales of water and wastewater services were 11.3 mln EUR, a 0.5% decrease       
compared to the 1st quarter of 2009, resulting from the 0.9% decrease in tariffs
from 1 January 2010 for the Company's residential and commercial customers      
combined with the factors described below.                                      

Included within this amount were the following changes by sectors. Within the   
service area, sales to residential customers decreased by 2.8% to 6.0 mln EUR.  
Sales to commercial customers decreased by 7.0% to 4.2 mln EUR. Sales to        
customers outside of the service area increased by 113.9% to 0.86 mln EUR, which
now includes the Maardu operating contract which commenced from 1st July 2009.  
Over pollution fees received were 0.22 mln EUR, an 11.2% decrease compared to   
the 1st quarter of 2009.                                                        

In the 1st quarter of 2010, the volumes sold to residential customers dropped   
1.9%. We believe that this is due to the combination of the economic recession  
and the fact that people have continued to move to the surrounding areas of     
Tallinn.                                                                        

The volumes sold to commercial customers inside the service area decreased by   
6.0% compared to the same period in 2009. The majority of the reduction in sales
volumes in Tallinn is a result of the macroeconomic impact of companies reducing
their production volumes. A significant impact on the volumes is due to one of  
the most sizeable clients, Coca-Cola, reducing their production in Tallinn which
has seen a 21% decrease from the same period in 2009. Coca-Cola will cease      
production in Tallinn completely from April 2010 but the early reduction in     
volumes has had a severe impact on the 1st quarter 2010 volumes.                

Excluding Maardu volumes, then outside service area volumes were 34.3% higher   
than in the 1st quarter of 2009. The main factor in this increase was higher    
storm water volumes in March following the commencement of the thaw following   
the winter but additionally sewage volumes were also higher in the current year.

The sales from the operation and maintenance of the storm water and fire-hydrant
system increased by 2.1% to 0.80 mln EUR in the 1st quarter of 2010 compared to 
the same period in 2009. This is in accordance with the terms and conditions of 
the contract whereby the storm water and fire hydrant costs are invoiced based  
on actual costs and volumes treated.                                            


Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin                                             

The cost of goods sold for the main operating activity was 4.6 mln EUR in the   
1st quarter of 2010, an increase of 0.36 mln EUR or 8.6% from the equivalent    
period in 2009 of which Maardu added 0.26 mln EUR.                              

In the 1st quarter of 2010 the Company achieved the beneficial 0.5 coefficient  
for pollution tax, and the amount of pollution tax payable was 0.24 mln EUR     
compared to 0.21 mln EUR in 1st quarter of 2009.  In the 1st quarter of 2009 we 
achieved the 0.5 coefficient also. Pollution tax payable is also impacted by the
increase in tax rates year on year by 19% and by the increase in treatment      
volumes. In the 3rd quarter of 2009 an investment into an additional stage of   
waste water treatment was approved for which the procurement process is expected
to be finalized in May 2010. Only at this time will the project cost be known   
with construction forecasted to start from June 2010.                           

Chemical costs were 0.33 mln EUR, representing a 38.4% increase compared to the 
corresponding period in 2009. This result is the combination of higher volumes  
treated and chemicals dosed which was required in order to try to meet the      
Nitrogen efficiency target of 70%.                                              

Electricity costs increased by 0.06 mln EUR or 11.7% in the 1st quarter of 2010 
compared to the 1st quarter of 2009 due to higher electricity prices and volumes
treated and pumped.                                                             

Salary expenses decreased in the 1st quarter of 2010, year on year, by 0.10 mln 
EUR or 8.9% mainly due to the lower number of employees.                        

Depreciation charges decreased in the 1st quarter of 2010 by 0.03 mln EUR or    
2.6% year on year.                                                              

Transport costs increased by 0.02 mln EUR, or 7.2% year on year, due to the     
combination of the increase in fuel prices and increased usage of rented        
machines.                                                                       

Other cost of goods sold in the main operating activity increased 0.26 mln EUR, 
or 60.4% year on year, exclusively due to the costs of operating in Maardu as   
this was not operational in the 1st quarter of 2009.                            

As a result of all of the above the Company's gross profit for the 1st quarter  
of 2010 was 7.6 mln EUR, which is a decrease of 0.45 mln EUR, or 5.6%, compared 
to the gross profit of 8.1 mln EUR for the 1st quarter of 2009.                 

Operating Costs and Operating Margin                                            

Marketing expenses decreased by 0.01 mln EUR to 0.20 mln EUR during the 1st     
quarter of 2010 compared to the corresponding period in 2009. This is mainly the
result of the efficiency program and fewer employees than in corresponding      
period in 2009.                                                                 

In the 1st quarter of 2010 the General administration expenses decreased by 0.09
mln EUR year on year to 0.82 mln EUR.                                           

Via successful negotiation of a range of outsourced service contracts new,      
beneficial rates have been achieved for most of the cost items. The management's
target is to achieve further efficiencies through a thorough review of processes
and work organization.                                                          

Other net income/expenses                                                       

The majority of the income in Other net income/expenses relates to constructions
and government grants. The driver for this income stream is the connections     
activity in Tallinn. Income/expenses from constructions and government grants   
totaled a net income of 0.28 mln EUR, in the 1st quarter of 2010 compared to a  
net income of 0.22 mln EUR in the 1st quarter of 2009. This was primarily due to
an increase in the number of connections finalized.                             

The rest of the other income/expenses totaled an expense of 0.15 mln EUR in the 
1st quarter of 2010 compared to an expense of 0.07 mln EUR in the 1st quarter of
2009, from a combination of slightly worsened debt collection and less received 
late payment penalties compared to 2009. It should be noted however that, more  
than 99% of debt is collected in a timely manner.                               

As a result the Company's underlying operating profit from sales of water and   
wastewater for the 1st quarter of 2010 totaled 6.4 mln EUR compared to 6.9 mln  
EUR in the corresponding quarter in 2009. In total then the Company's operating 
profit for main and other activities for the 1st quarter of 2010 was 6.7 mln    
EUR, a decrease of 0.36 mln EUR compared to an operating profit of 7.1 mln EUR  
achieved in the 1st quarter of 2009. Year on year the operating profit has      
decreased 5.1%.                                                                 

Financial expenses                                                              

Net Financial expenses were 1.5 mln EUR in the 1st quarter of 2010, which is an 
increase of 0.69 mln EUR or 86.8% compared to the 1st quarter of 2009. Of this  
increase, as set out below, 1.2 mln EUR relates to a loss on the fair value of  
swap contracts with underlying business financial expenses reducing by 0.55 mln 
EUR in total compared to 2009.                                                  

The Company's interest costs have decreased by 65.1% compared to the 1st quarter
of 2009 from 0.83 mln EUR to 0.29 mln EUR as a result of the reduction in       
Euribor rates and the replacement of our fixed interest rate loan (4.19% + risk 
margin), by loans with floating interest rates. The Company decided to mitigate 
the long term floating interest risk and in May 2009 concluded 3 interest swap  
agreements, each with a principal value of 15 mln EUR. All contracts have       
forward start dates, for a base amount of 30 mln EUR, the forward start date    
began on 28 November 2009, and for a base amount of 15 mln EUR the forward start
date begins on 28 May 2010. At this point in time the estimated fair value of   
these swap contracts is negative, with a further devaluation in 1st quarter 2010
in the amount of 1.2 mln EUR which more than offsets the interest costs savings 
and the financial income earned during the 1st quarter of 2010.                 
                                                                                

Profit Before Tax                                                               

The Company's profit before taxes for the 1st quarter of 2010 was 5.2 mln EUR,  
which is 1.1 mln EUR lower than the profit before taxes of 6.3 mln EUR for the  
1st quarter of 2009.                                                            

Balance sheet                                                                   

During the three months of 2010 the Company invested 0.83 mln EUR into fixed    
assets. Non-current assets were 139.2 mln EUR at 31 March 2010. Current assets  
increased by 6.6 mln EUR to 37.9 mln EUR in the three months of the year, with  
customer receivables increasing by 0.70 mln EUR and cash at bank increasing by  
5.9 mln EUR.                                                                    

Current liabilities increased by 0.39 mln EUR to 7.7 mln EUR in the three months
of the year. This was mainly due to a 0.47 mln EUR increase in Trade payables   
largely due to outstanding interest payable.                                    

The Company continues to maintain its leverage level within its target range of 
50% with total liabilities to total capital employed of 46.8% as of 31 March    
2010. Long-term liabilities stood at 75.2 mln EUR at the end of March 2010,     
consisting almost entirely of the outstanding balance of three long-term bank   
loans. The current total available loan facility is 95 mln EUR, from which we   
had drawn down 75 mln EUR at the end of the 1st quarter of 2010. In April we    
have completed the draw down for the final 20 mln EUR. The weighted average     
interest margin at 75 mln EUR draw down was 0.55%, for the total available      
facility the margin is 0.67%.                                                   

Cash flow                                                                       

During the three months of 2010, the Company generated 7.6 mln EUR of cash flows
from operating activities, an increase of 0.30 mln EUR compared to the          
corresponding period in 2009. The increase in operating cash flows is mainly due
to the increased liability balance in the three months of 2010. Underlying      
operating profit still continues to be the contributor to operating cash flows. 

In the three months of 2010 net cash outflows from investing activities were 1.7
mln EUR, which is 1.2 mln EUR more than in 2009. This is mainly due to reduced  
inflow due to timing of compensations received for construction of pipelines. To
date in 2010 the cash outflows in relation to fixed asset investments are 2.6   
mln EUR.                                                                        

There were no cash flows related to the financing activities in 1st quarters of 
2010 and 2009.                                                                  

As a result of all of the above factors, the total cash inflow in the three     
months of 2010 was 5.9 mln EUR compared to a cash inflow of 6.8 mln EUR in the  
three months of 2009. Cash and cash equivalents stood at 24.6 mln EUR as at 31  
March 2010 which is 3.1 mln EUR higher than for the corresponding period of     
2009.                                                                           

Employees                                                                       

At the end of the 1st quarter of 2010, the total number of employees was 318    
compared to 331 at the end of the 1st quarter of 2009. The full time equivalent 
(FTE) was respectively 303 in 2010 compared to the 316 in 2009. The decrease in 
FTE is primarily due to reorganization in various departments at the end of     
2009.                                                                           


Dividends and share performance                                                 

Based on the results of the 2009 financial year, the Company intends to pay     
31,956,463 EUR of dividends. Of this 639 EUR will be paid to the owner of the   
B-share and 31,955,824 EUR, i.e. 1.60 EUR per share to the owners of the

Operational highlights in the three months of 2010                              

AS Tallinna Vesi overall operating indicators suffered a decline in the 1st     
quarter of 2010 due to extreme weather conditions, which greatly affected the   
number of service interruptions and customer complaints. At the same time the   
Company is pleased to report that 100% water samples taken at the customers'    
taps in the 1st quarter were compliant with quality requirements.

Water quality is at its all time best                                           
100% of water samples taken from the taps of the customers of AS Tallinna Vesi  
were compliant with the requirements in the 1st quarter of 2010, again          
demonstrating an increase of 0,14% over 2009.                                   

The quality of drinking water provided to Tallinners has not been affected by   
the airplane crash landing incident at Lake Ülemiste on March 18th. The small   
amount of aviation fuel spilled from the aircraft was localized immediately and 
collected from the lake after the aircraft had been removed. The Company will   
continue to monitor the quality of water at the intake to the water treatment   
plant and will ensure quality standards are maintained.                         

AS Tallinna Vesi refurbished the ozone generators at the water treatment plant, 
which is a necessary task undertaken every five years to improve the treatment  
of water. The ozonators used in Tallinn are the largest in the world.           

Number of interruptions on the rise due to severe weather conditions            
The number and duration of unplanned interruptions did increase in the 1st      
quarter of 2010 as a result of extreme winter conditions. This had an impact on 
overall levels of service. However, AS Tallinna Vesi increased its resources and
activities to minimize disruptions and as a result, there were no interruptions 
lasting over 12 hours in the 1st quarter of 2010.                               

The majority of service interruptions were caused either by frozen pipes in the 
beginning of the year or pipe bursts in March, as the ground began to thaw out. 
The number of water pressure contacts increased by 33% compared to the 1st      
quarter of 2009. The main reasons being blockages of water meters, blockages    
occurred from frozen pipes and decrease of area water pressure associated with  
repair and maintenance works on utility main pipelines. All jobs were resolved  
within 2 working days.                                                          

Increased activity also influenced the number of customer complaints. However,  
response times and performance remained within targets. AS Tallinna Vesi        
appreciates the patience and understanding during this period, and apologises   
for any inconvenience caused.                                                   

No imminent threat to environment despite increase in wastewater volumes        
In March the number of wastewater blockages was significantly higher than in    
2009 and with the melt waters there were flooding events in Pirita, Saue and    
near Harku Lake at the end of March. Because of the large volumes of water,     
pollution of the environment was minimal and posed no danger.                   
                                                                                
AS Tallinna Vesi's air-scouring pressure trucks operated in double shifts to    
increase and speed up the liquidation of sewerage blockages, thus reducing any  
threats to the environment.                                                     
The Company constructed emergency overflow pipes in Pirita, at Andrekse and     
Lauri streets to avoid the further flooding of private properties in the area   
due to increased storm water volumes combined with wastewater collected from the
district. The emergency overflows were in use for 2-3 days and the much diluted 
wastewater and storm water did not pose any danger to the environment, as the   
samples analyzed by the Wastewater Inspectorate confirmed.                      

The flow of wastewater to the Paljassaare wastewater treatment plant reached    
over 400 million litres per day in the second half of March due to the thaw     
period. Despite the record level inflow of wastewater, the treatment plant was  
still able to achieve full compliance of pollution parameters in the 1st quarter
of 2010.                                                                        

Network extension program will be delivered as planned                          
Although the prolonged winter has delayed the start of the construction season, 
the Company remains confident that it will deliver the network extension plan by
the end of 2010 as agreed with the City of Tallinn in 2007. The extra kilometres
of pipe laid in 2009 have compensated for the delay in starting the program in  
2010. AS Tallinna Vesi will be constructing 5.1 kilometres of water pipes, 39.4 
kilometres of wastewater pipes and 12.5 kilometres of storm water pipes in 2010.
